Behind The Walls of St Johns is a startling memoir of a pre-school child who had become deaf. With no proper education, the parents turned to the church and sent Caroline to the only deaf school in the area. Poor, the parents were unable to travel the long distance and Caroline bordered at the school on the weekends. That was Caroline was first exposed to the sexual exploitation of both the nuns and the priests. When I first met Caroline, she had just received her share of the legal settlement from her attorney for the grave injuries caused at the hands of the religious teachers. A horror story, sadly it's true. A must read for anyone who wants to end child sexual abuse.
